Renewing Your CDL

Renewing your commercial driver license (CDL) every four years will probably seem like a snap in comparison to all the work you did to obtain it the first time around.

How to Renew

All Nevada CDLs must be renewed in person at the Department of Motor Vehicles. Go into your local full-service DMV office and submit the following:

• Evidence of a physical exam within the last two years (use the Medical Examination Report).

• Pay applicable fees (see "Renewal Fees," below).

• For hazardous materials endorsements, take the hazardous materials knowledge test again and submit to another federally mandated background check if you wish to keep this endorsement on your CDL.

Note: If you've been convicted of two or more moving violations in the previous four years, you will probably be required to take the knowledge tests again, and possibly even the driving tests. Talk to an examiner at your full-service DMV office for more details.

Upgrading Your Endorsements

If you wish to add an endorsement to your CDL or upgrade your license class, you will need to fill out a new Commercial Driver's License Application and pass the applicable knowledge and/or skills tests.

Renewal Fees

Fees are payable when you come in to renew:

• Renewal requiring no test or only a knowledge test: $56.25

• Renewal requiring knowledge and skills tests: $86.25

• Added endorsement: $16.25

• Drive test to add endorsement: $32.25
